If we're being utterly honest here though - what really puts bums on seats for the readers. What really gets you an audience with whomever your target demographic happens to be - is playing into their bias. I'd be more inclined to agree with you on things if you looked in detail at systemic ways to achieve equality and fairness on a raft of issues... but many of your pieces demonstrate this isn't the case. Much of what you write is aimed at inciting your core base into agreement that everything is the fault of the patriarchy.

Amber Heard loses her case, patriarchy... women choose to date older men and you disapprove... patriarchy.... can women hate men as much as men seem to hate women... of course not, patriarchy. You'll get the 'i hate patriarchy' claps which are abundant on this platform; but any dissent and attempt to bring the conversation round to a way forward will simply be dismissed as further evidence of the patriarchy in action. That's how the game is played.
